KUALA LUMPUR:
The majority of residents in Selangor will soon enjoy the benefit from the development of the East Coast Rail Link (ECRL), finance minister Tengku Zafrul Aziz said.

The ECRL alignment involving Selangor, namely Section C, is divided into two – Section C1 from Mentakab to Gombak Integrated Transport Terminal, and Section C2 from Gombak to Port Klang via Serendah.

“The ECRL Line for Section C2 spans 74.25km, covering four stations, namely Serendah Baru (passenger and cargo), Puncak Alam (passenger station), Kapar (passenger station), and Port Klang (passenger and cargo),” Tengku Zafrul said in a Facebook post.

He was commenting on transport minister Wee Ka Siong’s statement that the ECRL C2 Line was expected to be completed by Dec 31, 2027.

In May this year, Tengku Zafrul had met with 25 residents’ associations in Puncak Alam where they raised various issues including the need for an ECRL station there.

“I have brought their request for consideration and, Alhamdulillah, Puncak Alam will have its own ECRL station,” he said.

The ECRL Line will not only be beneficial to the Kuala Selangor residents, but would also benefit those in other areas in Selangor as well, he said.

Earlier today, Wee said that the ECRL C2 stretch that would pass through Selangor – from Gombak to Port Klang – was expected to be completed on Dec 31, 2027.

The C section of the ECRL Line had undergone public inspection from Aug 23 till Nov 23, 2021, and received the final approval under the railway scheme on Jan 20 this year.
